The '''Kerbal Astronomical Society''' is a scientific organization mentioned by some in-game descriptions of [[celestial body|celestial bodies]], which can be read in the [[Map view]]. They seem to be [[Kerbal|Kerbalkind]]'s authoritative body on astronomy, like the real-life [http://www.iau.org/about/ International Astronomical Union (IAU)]. While the only telescope seen in-game{{check version||0.90.0}} is at the Kerbal Space Center's Research and Development Facility, there is no indication they are directly affiliated with the space program at [[Kerbal Space Center]] or [[Wernher von Kerman]]. There are, however, indications they don't know how to use telescopes properly (see their descriptions of [[Vall]], [[Minmus]], [[Pol]], and [[Tylo]]). Many of their discoveries are accidental and initially thought to be lens smudges or dust. It is also possible that the KAS invented [[KerbNet]] and are the scientists that supply constant information to your Kerbnet module.
